I am running an AMD K62-400 @ 500
This is a retail CPU with AMD stock cooling ... it came with thermal grease from AMD, and I used it.
MB CPU temp sensor indicates 102 degF after running RC5 (100% CPU usage) for 8 hours.
IS THIS TEMPERATURE A PROBLEM RELATIVE TO LONG-TERM (3 YEAR) RELIABILITY?
BTW:
The machine works great, with no BSOD, no hangs, no problem shutting down using the WIN98SE Os (appropriately patched through Windows Update). RC5 is 770+ k/keys ... apparently normal for the K62 ... my P3700@933 does 2.7M+++ (dont remember xactly what it said).
The motherboard is an el-cheapo Matsonic 6393 D/E witht integral vid, sound, 10/100 NIC, USB , 56k modem, ATA66 ... micro-ATX form factor, 2 DIMM slots; $90 delivered ... I SAID el-cheapo right?
